hyperintelligence
Extreme cognitive capacity
Hyperintelligence refers to cognitive ability vastly exceeding normal human intelligence—whether in speed, depth, or scope of understanding.
The term appears most often in discussions of artificial intelligence and speculative fiction, describing minds that could solve problems or perceive patterns far beyond human capacity: The AI achieved hyperintelligence and quickly surpassed its creators.
Sometimes used loosely as hyperbole for exceptional brilliance.
